Jamboree on the Trail 2005
Scouts
Walking Together World Wide
On
Saturday,
May 14, 2005, members of the
Scouting family around the world will be participating in the eight annual
Jamboree On The Trail (JOTT) by taking to the trails in their own countries.
Join Us!
-
IT IS FOR ALL SCOUTS -
Everyone
can participate in the JOTT because there is no minimum distance to hike. Tiger,
Wolf, Bear, and Webelos could visit a local nature trail or help clean-up along
a walk path. A Scout Troop might
hike up a trail while working on merit badge requirements.
Venture Scouts might make a Service project out of restoring or
maintaining a trail. Members of the
Girls Scouts may also participate on May 14th, as JOTT is a truly Scouting-wide
opportunity. Want everyone to be
involved in this project of worldwide unity with everyone hiking in the same
direction: towards a better future
through Scouting.
Again
for JOTT 2005 the patch has been designed with youth input and will be available
for pre-order.
The
first JOTT was organized by Canadian Scouters and held in 1998.
Last year an estimated 32,000 members of the World Brotherhood of
Scouting in 15 countries participated in JOTT 2004 by taking to the trail in
their own countries. To learn more about JOTT visit the web pages at:

Please
pre-order JOTT 2004 patches by April 30, 2005
(order form links on left). That gets them to you
in time for JOTT. You can order
patches after April 30th and even after May 14th, but
please allow enough time for the order to be processed and have it mailed to you
via the U.S. Post Office.
Plan
long-term and join us on JOTT 2006.
It will be held worldwide on Saturday, May 13, 2006.
Yours
in Scouting,
